What the hell is going on in NYC's courts and District Attorney's office? Whatever it is, it's deliberate
/
A convicted sex offender who cold-cocked a man on a Bronx street — leaving him in a coma with brain injuries — was freed without bail Thursday after getting his attempted-murder charges reduced in the unprovoked attack.
Bui Van Phu, 55, was instead charged by the Bronx District Attorney’s Office with assault and harassment, both misdemeanors, for the brutal knockout punch last Friday that left 52-year-old Jesus Cortes unconscious on the street, according to a criminal complaint.
The victim required brain surgery and is now in a medically induced coma, authorities said.
The new charges against Phu are not bail eligible, and a Bronx judge cut him loose on supervised release at his arraignment Thursday, a spokesperson for the DA’s Office said.
The NYPD had charged Phu with attempted murder after arresting him Wednesday for the attack that appeared to have come out of the blue.
There’s more at the link, including a video of the attack, but the details only get worse. The state legislature, which passed these laws, and the district attorney and the judges are apparently waging war against the citizens of New York, and one wonder why?
Greenwich real estate values get a nice boost when these types of stories are reported, and that’s almost daily now, it seems.
UPDATE: It turns out, NYC has still more room to fail — there’s still time for Fun City to complete its devolution back to a Woke City of deserted streets:
